    There are use cases for public transport. There are usecases for trucks and SUVs. EVs currently seem to be limited to a "city car" role, which is a category that's hard to understa…

    That was just reality's famous liberal bias asserting itself.

    I'm sorry, but that's not a library. It is useful, but calling these centers "libraries" just accelerates the death of actual libraries, and distracts from copyright reform.

    Yes, we Russians are entirely responsible for British carpet bombing. (I, of course, do not agree with the decision to demolish the remaining ruins in 1968; it could have been hand…

    Why lie? It _is_ a tourist location, with > 2mln tourists annually (for their 1 mln permanent population). It also has quite a diverse economy, with Avtotor being a major car assem…

    LAMY 2000 and Platinum Preppy/Pilot V-pen are not the same kind of product. To be honest, the disposables are not excellent at all. However, the difference in writing feel, line qu…

    "operationally" implies that capex (which I would assume includes datacenters, gpus, and r&d) is not in. So the big news is that they can now pay for electricity and sysadmin.

    Yes. The economic reason for the fork is the same.

    There's a clear intent for EU entities to switch to "sovereign" tech. That means that there's a lot of money on the table. Hence the "EuroOffice" rebadge, and this unpleasantness.

    Shortcuts still don't work on non-Latin keyboard layouts on Linux. For people who use languages with non-Latin writing systems, this is a show-stopper. (there is, of course, a rich…

    That would be good, but somehow didn't work all the other times.

    What apps? (idle interest; I use Graphene, but few apps, and everything worked so far)

    it reliably keeps buffers between restarts, including for unsaved files. It's kinda amazing at that.

    They don't usually want to. Why restrict yourself in such contortions? Bit it's entirely possible, and common. E. g., uses of Linux in schools and governments are not more terminal…

    Are we giving strategic advice to Microsoft now? Anyway: consumer OSes are historically cheap, and cannot be easily converted into subscriptions. So the market is low-margin, and s…

    What does “at the network level” mean?.. Anyway; Tailscale is not your only network. If you’re on a laptop, you need to be able to log onto rando wifi networks. If you’re at home, …

    You have to use a firewall anyway. If you use Tailscale, you have two firewalls, which is not strictly easier.

    Tailscale somehow found use for self-hosters, despite being wildly unergonomic for an all-Linux, non-corporate, network. Yggdrasil lacks marketing effort, but is otherwise a great …

    I suspect Linux has better hardware support than Haiku, which is not exactly easy to run on laptop hardware (w/ wifi, sleep, &c)
